“Amaryl was extremely kind and made us feel very at ease while we were away from our cats. Super responsive, respectful, and considerate. Will be booking again with Amaryl!”
About: My dog‑care experience was shaped on the farm by two completely different but equally unforgettable dogs — Brandy and Sandy. Brandy was the hyper one, always ready to sprint, explore, or break off the leash the moment she saw an opening. Managing her taught me how to handle high‑energy dogs with patience, structure, and safe freedom when the moment was right. Sandy was the opposite — the quiet, protective free‑roam dog who walked beside me while I fed the animals, checked the fences, or just needed silence in nature. She taught me how to build trust without words, how to read calm body language, and how to create a steady presence that makes dogs feel secure. Together, they gave me a balanced understanding of dog behavior — from managing excitement to honoring stillness — and that mix guides the way I care for every dog today. Pet care fits naturally into my life because my routine is already built around consistency, early mornings, and being fully present. I work an 8:30–5pm job, but being hybrid gives me two days each week where I’m home and able to give animals steady attention throughout the day. I’m up at 4am for the gym, so I’m always awake early enough for morning feedings, walks, or check‑ins before most people even start their day. I’m flexible with my time and willing to adjust my sleep schedule, workouts, or daily activities around an animal’s needs — whether that means medication windows, outdoor time, or simply giving them company. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in; it’s something I build my day around with intention and reliability. When I’m caring for a pet in their space, I keep everything consistent with the routines they already know: feeding times, walk schedules, medication windows, playtime, and comfort habits. I treat their home with respect, keep their environment clean, and make sure they feel secure even while their family is away. I’m flexible with timing and fully willing to adjust my sleep schedule, workouts, or daily plans around what each animal needs — whether that’s late‑night reassurance, early‑morning energy, or extra companionship throughout the day. For me, pet care isn’t something I squeeze in. It’s something I build my day around with intention, reliability, and real heart.
“Working with Mimi was wonderful. She took great care of our cat while we were away. We appreciated the daily updates and photos. Mimi did a great job communicating with us. I would be happy to recommend her and have her sit for us again.”
About: I have cared for many pets over the years and even worked as a vet technician for some time. I am keen to the needs of animals. I am a stay at home mom, so I'll have plenty of time to care for your pets. I only spent a few hours away each day. I have a fenced in back yard and great neighborhood for walks. I have kids and two dogs so I will need to know if they are good with kids and other pets.
“Sandy was exceptional! Her communication was far more timely than I was able to reciprocate. Making adjustments to the plan was a breeze. Sandy bonded with my animal almost immediately! She played, fed, petted, sat with, and cleaned up after him, giving me synopses and pictures I loved to read and see each night. This was my first time using Rover and I will definitely do again, requesting Sandy!”
“Everything was wonderful when we returned home. Got daily check ins with pictures. Our one cat who doesn’t like anyone loved Bethany. 10/10. Couldn’t ask for anything more.”
About: I have a great love for animals and have been taking care of dogs for 14 years. I am currently a cat mom, but in the past I have had up to 4 animals at the same time, so I am experienced with caring for many animals at once. Also, I have experience sitting small rodents and some reptiles. I am a quick learner and love all pets, especially ones with unique challenges and personalities. I am also a Type 1 diabetic, so if your animals require insulin or any other injectable medication, I am comfortable with needles and administering those medications. I work a full time job, but I am a fully remote worker, and therefore I can spend lots of direct time with your pet. I am very communicative with my clients, and will update every check in on how their pets are doing. I make sure to give the pets lots of attention. I will listen to you on what works best for your pets, and keep them on any schedules you have in place for them.
About: I’ve always taken care of pets since a young age for neighbors and friends. Several of my current pets have special needs, from specific diets to medical conditions. I’m able to take care of any animal no matter the special help they may need. I’ve taken care of many different animals from dogs and cats to bearded dragons and toads. I’m not afraid to get grubby and clean out tanks or litter boxes. I currently have a part time office job that is done in person and remotely! I'll have plenty of time to be with your dogs to play, walk, and also chill while they nap. At your home I'll ensure all of your preferences and routines are maintained for your dog. That way I can ensure reduced stress while you're away and your dog(s) can have the best time possible while you're away!
About: I have taken care of older dogs mostly. I can help accommodate their needs from ramps, special food (farmers dog), medicine, and much more besides. I will be working part time on Rover as I will be doing a second job as well. Scheduling wise I can work late mornings from 10am to the evening around 5pm. I have experience with giving pets medicine and helping the older ones up ramps along with keeping a close eye on any dietary specifications that the owner informs me about.
About: Hello! I am a reliable and responsible animal lover with 18 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and homes for family, friends, and co-workers. As a graduate student with classes only on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights, I have an open schedule during the day to give your pets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I love the outdoors and staying active, making me a great companion for high-energy dogs or walks around the neighborhood. I am located near OTR and am more than happy to travel to help you with your pet and house-sitting needs! I am a full-time graduate student at NKU, with classes Monday thru Wednesday evenings (6-9pm). I have a cat who is okay on his own, as such my schedule is very flexible and I can work to accommodate your sitting needs I am unable to board pets in my apartment, but I am willing to travel and to help with your pet needs. I am able to house sit as well depending on your specific needs.
“Jennifer was absolutely wonderful with my cat. My kitten had never been left alone before, and is very shy. Jennifer was so patient with her and was wonderful with reassuring me as well. I will definitely book with her again.”
About: I have a 5 year old golden doodle and a 1 year old orange kitty. I have had my fair share of experience with wild and hyper pets, i love them all the same. I have helped my friends and family for years take care of pets while they are out of town. My goldendoodle is nearly 100 pounds so I am not afraid of taking care of or walking big dogs, as long as there is no history of aggression. :) I work a 9-5 M-F so if needed I can help before work feed your pets can check in on them. I prefer evening work as I know I will be off work by 5. I am happy to check in on your pets until 10 PM and walk them until sunset. I pay attention to detail and will make sure your pets are in a safe environment while you are away! Your pet will be safe and loved by me as if you were home yourself.
About: I've had one dog, one guinea pig, two hamsters, and three cats in my day- and I've loved every second of having each one of them. I've been pet-sitting for family members since I was 13 (including dogs, cats, and rabbits). I am not shy about grooming, medications, accidents, or any other tasks for needy animals! I currently am looking for a new full-time job, so my schedule is fairly free. I am available to work weekends, extended stays, or simply a night to free up a tight schedule! I prefer a day notice to booking care, but am flexible given the situation. If working an extended or multi-day stay, I will have to leave twice a day to feed, groom, and otherwise take care of my cat, Butter. I like to know the habits your animals are used to so I don't disturb their routine; e.g. feeding times, litter box cleaning/ potty breaks, walk schedules, grooming schedules, etc. I understand the importance of stability and security to a pet and their owner and do my absolute best to maintain their regularly scheduled care, while they adjust to a new human in their safe space.
About: I am a lifelong animal lover and have had multiple dogs, two cats, and a ball python for over 13 years! In addition to my experience as a pet owner, I have also volunteered at the Cincinnati Zoo in various capacities for 3 years now, where I have learned techniques in animal care relating to a variety of species from mammals to reptiles to birds. I am currently pursuing a degree in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology with the hope to some day work with animals professionally. I was a member of my high schools zoology and marine biology clubs for all 4 years and also founded a beekeeping club. I am currently a college student looking to pet sit during school breaks. I will be in town and available December 13-31 of this year. I offer free meet and greets and I will not have another job at this time and so can be quite flexible to you/your pets needs. I can come over at regular time frames to walk, provide food and water, play, and spend time with your pet. I also offer overnight stays and can accommodate irregular schedules.
About: I’ve had dogs since I can remember. I’ve just recently introduced a cat into our dog family and it’s been such a pleasure caring for my babies. I would love to do the same for someone else! I am available at the moment to work any day weekday and weekend, I currently have no restrictions to when I can not do it. I enjoy doing enrichment activities with the animals and playing with them to stimulate their mind. I also like to cuddle with my dogs whenever they want chill time.
About: I’ve been watching pets for over 10 years, mostly for neighbors, friends, and family. I’ve taken care of everything from energetic puppies to older pets who need a little extra love and patience. I’m really comfortable with different routines, giving meds if needed, and just making sure each pet feels safe, happy, and cared for!! As a server, I have a flexible schedule with plenty of daytime and evening availability, so I can give pets the attention they need. Whether it's morning walks, midday playtime, or cozy evening cuddles, I love filling my free time with furry friends!! I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by sticking to their usual routine, giving them lots of love and attention, and keeping their space clean and secure. Whether I’m in my home or a client’s, I treat every pet like they’re my own :)

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Covedale
We have never used Rover before but with our cats being older and one now needing insulin shots to manage his diabetes, as well as not always having others available, we decided we needed to try. We were nervous about having a stranger in our home but Amanda was great! She was very polite and respectful of our home. She spent extra time with our cats and was accommodating when we asked if she could also water the gecko. Amanda was extremely communicative even before the trip. She answered all questions we had as Rover newbies and really made us feel good about leaving our pets in her care. We would absolutely be happy and comfortable using Amanda again.
She was great with my cats! From the initial meet-and-greet, they seemed really comfortable with her, which made me feel much better about leaving them. I really appreciated the pictures and detailed updates during each visit, and it was clear they were being well taken care of. I’d definitely book with her again and highly recommend her!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
